A FINE AFFAIR.
THE HEBREW LADIES BAZAR FORMALLY
OPENED LAST NIGHT
A Large Crowd Pressnt-Evsrything Fixed Up in
Beautiful S.yls-A Deception Of
the Scene.

For two weeks past the ladies OF the
Hebrew congregation of this city have been
,ndustriously at work. making arrange
ments for the bazaar 10 be held at Odd Fell
lows Hall, and that they have carried out
their work very successfully, as visit to the
bazaar will at once conclusively prove. No
one should fail to see how nicely every
thing has been arranged, and examine the
beautiful articles on sale at the various
booths, or, ;perchance, to eat one OF
the bountiful suppers provided, or
to indulge in refreshments in the
ice cream and cake line. One thing
is sure, the visitor is treated to right
royal hospitable welcome, and If he
doesn't see enough of the prettiest, most
charming girls to be found in the city it is
because he is not an admirer of feminine
beauty. The girls are decidedly one Of the
greatest attractions at the bazaar.
But let us look at the room. Down the
center are located three booths of the most
beautiful description. The first one is in
charge of Mrs. Victor Rosenberg. her as.
sistants being Mrs. Myer Horkheimer,
Mrs. James Speyer, Miss Clementine Ros-

THE CITY COUNCIL ACTS PAvORABLY UPON
THE UNION BRIDGE PROPOSITION,
And Recommends the Board Of Commissioners to Sub
nit the Matter to VOts-Ths Active and
Earnest Aid Of Council Pledged.

The Second Branch of the City Council
met in special session, at 8 O'Clock las
night, to receive and act upon the report OF
the special committee on Union bridge.
President Gilleland presided, and twenty
members answered to their names at roll
call. The reading of the minutes was dis
psnsed with, and the railroad matter hav-
ing been taken over to the First Branch,
where it was to first come up, the Branch
took up and considered some minor matters
sent over from the First Branch at the last
regular meeting, and then took a recess OF
ten minutes, during which the members
paid fraternal visit to the First Branch
chamber.
On reassembling, Mr. Caldwell offered
the following:
Resolred, That the Committee on Health
be and are hereby instructed to draft an
ordinance providing for a City Board OF
Health, to consist of said Committee on
Health and the Health Officer, and that
khe Health Officer shall be the executive
officer of said board. That the said ordin-
ance shall contain provisions providing IN
detail for the performance of the same du-
ties and possession of the same powers by
said Board of Health as are conferred upon
and required of the local Board of Health
of Ohio County by chapter $50 of the
Code.
This went through with a whirl and
was sent over to the First Branch.
The report of the special committee and
accompanying resolutions sent over from
the First Branch, were then taken
up in somewhat scattered aud frag-
mentary order and acted upon tavorably.
After passing the garbage and railroad
tax resolutions and some minor papers,
sent over from the First Branch, this
Branch adjourned.

The face of the beast was one remarkable

What perplexes the keepers most Is the
animals refusal to eat of fungivorous sub

its appetite. On what it subsisted while
on lis way from the sun-scorched land Of
Africa it is difficult to guess. A keeper,
whose knowledge of natural history is ex-
tensive, after close observation OF the an

I do not balieve it will be a prolonged one.
IL the first place there are several factories
in and near by PittSburg which are not
members of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton. These would continue in operation,
and if some of the associated factories could
not fill their orders the trade will De forced
to buy wherever the goods can be had
Now it always happens that where buyers
are compelled to hunt other scources OF
supply a portion of the trade is held
by the new house. The associated fac
teries know this, and l don't think they
will see their trade go to other factories.
That being the case, it is perfectly reason.
able to suppose that concessions will be
made and o compromise effected rather
than stand prolonged strike. So far as
we are concerned, a strike will not make
much difference to us now, for we have
anticipated this thing and fortified our
selves. We can stand q strike until next
April without much Inconvenience"
Other iobbers are not alarmed at the
prospects, but the majority say they would
feel easier if they had more stock on hand.
There will be a meeting Of the chimney
manufacturers in Pittsburg Friday TO dis
cuss the advisability of joining with the
tableware manufacturers in the coming
trouble. This meeting was to have been
held yesterday, but was delayed owing to
the illness of Mr.. Gill, of Steubenville.
An Associated Press telegram from Pitts
burg, late last night, said:
1.-The trouble between the glass manu-
facturers and the American Flint Glass
Workers Union, which has been going on
for some time, has about reached the crisis.
1t is started on most reliable authority,
that a strike will take place tomorrow; If
the manufacturers do not concede the de-
mand of their employees"
Whatever happens in this vicinity, it
is about settled that the Buckeye works at
Martins Ferry will not be closed.
